#2 Lakshan Sandakan
Lakshan Sandakan is the first notable chinaman bowler to emerge from Sri Lanka. He, like most other wrist spinners, puts a lot of revolutions on his deliveries and deceives the batsmen in the air.
But his conventional leg breaks rarely seem to spin as ferociously as his googly. There is some turn but it is nowhere near to the degree of turn that his deliveries generate when he bowls the googly.
Sandakan is quick through the air and is ideal for a typical subcontinental wicket that aids spin. However, his career is in initial stages and there is plenty of time for him to develop the conventional leg break and also learn the changes of pace through the air.
